An Illustrated Guide for the Diabetic Clinic

By Emyr Wyn Jones

As with many other chronic diseases, the day-to-day management of patients with diabetes is often centred within specialised diabetic clinics. These centres are often comprised of hospital doctors who might be diabetologists or allied specialists (such as ophthalmologists), family practitioners, diabetes specialist nurses, liaison nurses, chiropordists, etc. This book provides an illustrated guide to many of the clinical conditions and organisational challenges encountered in diabetic clinics. It is ideal as a quick desk-top reference guide and teaching aid for those working in or setting up a clinic. The majority of the book uses an at-a-glance format in which clinical illustrations are on one page and descriptive text on the opposite page. The book is divided into five major sections that cover the common complications of diabetes, with two other sections and appendices that cover the organisation of diabetes care, good recordkeeping and key drugs and insulin preparations.
